Re: Schurra's chocolates glutenation

[Guest guest]

Has anyone checked the gluten status of chocolates lately? They're a Bay-area company. A couple of years ago I remember reading that they were GF. Chocolate is something I want only occasionally, so I haven't followed up on this.

A rep for chocolates lives next door. I never see her, myself, but my daughter does. My daughter passes extra roses and rosemary and lemons over our back fence; the woman gives her chocolates. It isn't a trade, just a happy exchange of small gifts.

I must remember to have my daughter ask about gluten when the two next see each other.

Schurra's does have gluten in their chocolate so beware.  Don't ask me why but it is listed on the box.  I forget how exactly the listing is, but it's more than just the equipment caveat.  I remember reading it when I was buying mother's day chocolates.  I miss their chocolate covered dried fruit.  Oh well.  Cheryl

Wow re: Schurra's - I don't see how I could have missed it on the

label - I have since thrown the box away (garbage day was yesterday)

so I can't quote all the ingredients. This was a prepackaged box of

chews and creams. Ugh. No wonder- my husband's DH rash came back too.

Next time I see them boxed I am going to read through it again just

for my sanity.

I just spoke with someone at Schurra's who read me all the

ingredients on the box I had. The only ones that could be suspect are:

- " coffee liquor "

- " emulsifier "

- " glucose "

- " natural and artificial flavorings "

he claims if there was " gluten " in the chocolate it would be listed

in the ingredients. So I am guessing that the glucose syrup they use

comes from wheat. All I know is that is the first and last time I

will ever eat Schurra's chocolates and I have now learned my lesson

to always assume " glucose " is from wheat unless explicitly stated

otherwise. I have been very lucky so far as I am sure I've had

products with " glucose " w/o incident.
